Safeway Scores

Who would have thought that you could get these deals at a grocery store?  I have from past experience.  I always make it a routine to go through the florist department at my neighborhood Safeway store.  I have found a few great deals over the years here.

Their florist department not only has flowers, but carry seasonal decoration, decorative vases and jars, assorted gift baskets, yard statues and misc items as well as a small variety of candles.  Cruise through yours and check out what kinds of deals you can score.

Check out the finds!  2 gift baskets, 3 Starbucks cup sleeves, and 2 shelf things {crates}.

Yup, that is right, it was originally $24.99 and it was on sale for only $4.99.  It has soaps, lotion, bubble bath, soap bar, body butter, and loofah.

This spa basket was only $2.99 and the original price was $19.99.

This crate stands around 2 feet tall and check out the price tag and what I actually paid on this baby.  It is made for out doors, but I have not decided what to do with it yet.

Not sure if you can see those rods through the wood slats, but the top of these crates lift off and you can remove the rods to open one side or take it apart.  Cool huh?

And here is his big brother.  Yikes, $69.99!  No way.  I only paid $6.99.  That's more like it.

These were not in the florist department, this Safeway has a Starbucks located inside and they had these cup sleeves on clearance for $1 each.  Great stocking stuffer.

Have you scored any great deals today?

Curb Alert Finds

Have you heard of a CURB ALERT before?  Well, if you frequent craigslist like I do in the free section, you might see it.  It is when people put things they want to get rid of out on the curb and post it to craigslist. 
If you are lucky the poster will delete the ad once the items have been removed so you don't make a wasted trip.  Anyway, this particular time the curb alert was around the corner from me.  There was this bench swing, the bird house, a frame of a swing, and a old BBQ grill. 

I have always wanted a porch swing.  But as you can see, it kinda takes up the whole front porch.  So, it might turn out to be a bench for the backyard.  We'll have to see what happens to it.  (Please excuse the leaves everywhere, we are in monsoon season and these leaves just keep coming back.)

I had a client that was moving and leaving these chairs behind so I asked if he minded if I took them to redo.  Funny story :)~  I had regular dinning chairs that I hated, they where the ever popular farmhouse chairs that break very easily, know the ones?  Well, when we moved into our home almost 4 years ago, I decided to finally get rid of them and that would force me to get new dinning table chairs, right?  NOT!  I have been using resin lawn furniture chairs ever since.  Urgh!  So, once I get to it, I am changing out the seats of the chairs and then probably painting the chairs black with some distress sanding involved.

Another agent in my office knows I craft and gave me these.  She said, "I know you can do something with these."  So true.  Love when other people help me with my obsessions.
